Viewers had been counting down the days untilĀ The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 22 partly because it served as a season finale and they knew there would be a major cliffhanger, of course.
But mostly because they also knew this would be Nina Dobrev's final ever appearance on the series.
Talk had circulated since the star made her announcement, with fans wondering whether TVD would kill Elena off or send her packing from Mystic Falls.

Without giving anything away, let's just say Elena's departure was satisfying and sentimental, touching and well done.
